Bertie is a dear and sounds like such a good boy just like his Main dog Man. (how cute was that?) You know, I know that purple plant.

Did you mean to write hair? Bertie sure is a cute little fur ball. Your little boy is doing great, looking after his pup all by himself. Pelargonium is the unofficial national flower of Switzerland, everyone has a few (bright red) on their windowsills. We used to winter them in the basement. If you have a garage or a shed, that&#39;ll probably work, too. Does yours smell really strongly in the evening? Love the fragrance very much.

New once were planted a couple of weeks ago. Not sure they will produce this year. Yours look big and so nice! How do you make them stand up straight like that? Mine always tend to lay on the ground and get dirty and mushy because of the weight... Snuggles for Bertie. And well done on little boy to take care of him on his own. I bet that makes him mature in rapid speed with the responsibility. He is a lucky boy.<br />Xx<br />Annette Annette - MyRoseValleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778246579909568662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-59847732519125983602017-06-11T19:06:46.963+01:002017-06-11T19:06:46.963+01:00I&#39;m over the moon happy that your family has f...I&#39;m over the moon happy that your family has found the perfect puppy for you all!

Not sure if it was our hot dry spring but lots of them have sprouted vivid yellow flowers. They look spectacular. We have a small one in the garden, but no flowers yet. Maybe next year. Bertie is truly gorgeous. If my cats allowed me a dog it would be a Bertie variety. Enjoy.

Bertie is a cutie. What breed is he? I&#39;m thinking cocker spaniel or cockapoo. Then again, we have all sorts of different terms in our countries. <br /><br /> When you mentioned politics I thought for one second you meant our president. Not going to say how badly I feel about that...at least not in less than 10,000 words.<br /><br />Lovely plants. I wish we had some of your beautiful species here. I also envy what friends grow in the south and east and west here in the states. Still, we have our beauties in the upper midwest.!<br /><br />Hope your weekend has been wonderful. Spent too much time on the beach today reading a cheap novel, turned a nice shade of red and added to the multiple freckles on my face. :((<br /><br />Jane xxx Blondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-7940581204353429382017-06-11T00:20:33.223+01:002017-06-11T00:20:33.223+01:00HE is so cute, I just want to snuggle him.
